>I just talked to Dick Naze on the phone and he is doing well, though he is
>still in Methodist Hospital. He said that when he put in the clutch to
>downshift prior to turn 1, he felt a whole lot of pain and his right foot
>was twisted under the brake and clutch pedal. The bell housing shrapnel was
>responsible for breaking three toes and hyperextending his foot.
>
>With his foot under the pedals he was unable to brake so continued to roll
>around the outside of the track exiting around turn 3 into the grass where
>it stopped on its own. Irv, if you have the projectile that hit you in the
>head, he'd be happy to autograph it.
>
>He seemed in good spirits, except for not wanting to be in the hospital. He
>hopes to go home tomorrow.
>
>He updated me on the other two injured drivers. Steve Garrett, the Turner
>driver, was admitted with a broken left wrist, mild concussion and back
>injury. He was treated and released.
>
>Phil Cull is still in the hospital and may be for some time. He has some
>back and neck injuries in addition to the broken ankle. Dick said that he
>definitely could use some cheering up, because he is flat on his back.
>
>Phil's room number is 5078-W, phone 317 962-7539, visiting hours 11:30 -
>8:30 EST.
>
>Dick also said thanks for those who have offered well wishes.
